Long time to download data when starting Cumulus

Post by paulsintes »

Hi Cumulus starts each morning when my PC boots up however it now takes almost two minutes to download the data from the Davis Vantage Pro2Vue console. I have ticked the "Synchronize Davis clock to PC" box in the setup page but it does not seem to sync the Davis console clock to the PC. I am running Cumulus V1.9.2 B1032

Hi Thanks for your reply. I presume the FAQ refers to the "Data Log Interval" in Cumulus setup. This is set to 10 mins, however I cannot find any information in the console manual that tells me how to find the data logging interval of the station.

You have to set it using the Davis Weatherlink software (with Cumulus stopped of course). If you change the interval you will lose any data in the logger so make sure Cumulus is up to date before you do that.
